| Programme description |
The MSc in Medical Technology comprises the following five specializations:
Medical Signal Processing and Imaging - theory and technology for imaging of the human body, with focus on the physics and mathematics of signal processing and image formation, the different technologies for imaging and estimation of physical quantities from the image data Healthcare Informatics - theory, technology, methods, processes and models for computer-supported sharing, storing, production and use of information and knowledge in healthcare. Bioinformatics - informatics, mathematics, statistics and molecular biology, with main focus on informatics. Design methods and procedures for analysing complex data sets from research in medicine and molecular biology are emphasized. Biophysics and Medical Physics - qualifies for a career as medical physicist in healt care, or for applying physics in health-related industries or research. The focus is on advanced imaging methods by magnetic resonance, ultrasound or use of ionizing radiation, as well as on the use of ionizing radiation for radiotherapy. Medical Biotechnology - biochemistry, microbiology and molecular genetics, with empasis on molecular genetics, with emphasis on molecular biology. Students will acquire skills in planning and performing biotechnological experiments involving recombiant DNA techniques, manipulation of suitable model systems for production of recombiant proteins, as well as performing functional analyses on these products. |
